According to the UK daily The independent, Peugeot has not tested their 107 mini car for crashes where the driver weighs more than 78kg. This piece of news came about during an inquest at the High Wycombe Magistrate's Court in Buckinghamshire regarding the death of one Mrs Judith Evans, who weighed 102kg. She had died when the Peugeot 107 she was driving crashed head on into a Vauxhall Vectra on January 20th, 2009.

    The Act of Creation

    “WHAT’S A GOOD USERNAME?!” Such was the source of my agony as I was handed a pair of figurative keys to MyAutoBlog. I’d asked the colleague from IT who was helping me set up this account if I really had to make an account with my work email, hoping I could use the username that came with my personal MCF account instead. “yes”, in lowercase no less, was what I got. Oh well. After a good 10 minutes (I think), I decided on this username (a reference I hope someone gets), juvenile and
